WEATHER ALERT

Sunday PM update... Rain to Mix / Wet Snow... The forecast from this morning holds firm for a rain, to sleet, to wet snow event late Monday night into Tuesday. Temperatures will be too marginal during the initially light precip Monday night, at most, we are talking a scattered coating to 0.5" with precip centered around midnight, and otherwise we just see a period of soaking rain for a time (eliminating the possibility for pre-treatment). As precip turns heavier roughly 2 - 5 AM, sleet and then wet snow takes over, turning heavy for a period. This point onward through Tuesday morning is when we pick up a bulk of our 2 - 4" forecast. Sleet (ice pellets) during the change to snow are likely, and they can cover surfaces and aid the wet snow in starting accumulations. Most areas will see a dense 2 - 4" that can still can be plowable even if totals were on the lower side due to the durability of sleet. Accumulations will also be wet and dense, and given an increasing breeze Tuesday, watch for some downed limbs and power outages. Any slush and wet spots will freeze as temps that fall through the 20s Tuesday night..
